INSTRUCTIONS

 
SWEET PASTRY:
  • First mix the creamed butter, fine salt, confectioner’s sugar, almond flour, eggs and 120g of flour.
  • Be careful not to overwork this mixture.
  • Once the mixture is smooth, add the remaining 350g flour without mixing too much.
  • Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and leave to stiffen in the refrigerator for at least 12 hours.
  • Spread the dough using a rolling pin to a thickness of 2-3mm.
  • Line a buttered, 24cm-long oblong tart mold.
  • Blind-bake the pricked tart base in the mold lined with parchment paper at 300°F (150°C) for about 20 minutes, until the pastry is a light brown color.
 
WHOLE-FRUIT RASPBERRY COMPOTE:
  • Slowly cook the fruit with the sugar for thirty minutes over medium heat, stirring regularly, and set aside in the refrigerator.
 
JIVARA 40% & TAHITI VANILLA WHIPPED GANACHE:
  • Roughly chop the Jivara 40% chocolate.
  • Boil the cream, honey, and glucose syrup mixture in a saucepan.
  • Slowly pour the boiling mixture in 3 batches over the Jivara 40% chocolate, mixing in the center to create an elastic, shiny texture, the sign that an emulsion is beginning to form.
  • Maintain this texture throughout the mixing process.
  • Continue adding the liquid gradually, then add the scraped vanilla bean.
  • Mix one final time, then set aside.
  • Combine the ganache base with the cold cream.
  • Allow to set in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, before whipping the mixture to obtain a thick enough texture for the ganache to be used in a piping bag.
 
RASPBERRY GEL:
  • Extract the cooking juices from the whole-fruit raspberry compote and combine with neutral glaze.
 
ASSEMBLY:
  • Spread the raspberry compote at the bottom of the tart.
  • Pipe out the whipped ganache onto the compote using a piping bag fitted with a Saint Honoré nozzle.
  • Fill the gaps in the whipped ganache with raspberry gel, and garnish with a few pieces of fresh fruit.
